satisfaction与satisfactory的区别是什么?
这两个词还是比较好区分的:
1. 词性
这两个词的词性不同,一个是名词(satisfaction),一个是形容词(satisfactory)。具体的解析见下方:
Satisfactory
a.
令人满意的;符合要求的;良好的
Of all the pens he tried, only one was satisfactory.
在他所试的笔中,只有一支是令人满意的。
Satisfaction
n.
满意,满足;称心[U][(+with/at)]
He smiled in satisfaction when he won the race.
他赢得赛跑后满意地笑了。
2. 用法
由于词性不同,那么必然导致相应的用法不同。
作为形容词,Satisfactory的用法如下:
(1)做表语,跟在系动词后面,如 be(am/is/are;was/were), feel, seem等
举例:He resultis not very satisfactory. 他的结果不太满意。
(2)作定语,修饰后面的名词。
举例:a satisfactory excuse for sth. 做某事一个合适的理由
asatisfactory conclusion 令人满意的结尾
而作为名词,Satisfaction可以被其他形容词修饰,可以做主语,宾语,或者与介词一起做状语,也可以做表语。
(1) 做主语的情况
举例:Your support and satisfactionare the biggest repayment for us.您的支持和满意,就是对我们最大的回报。
(2) 做宾语的情况
举例:He didn't allowhimself to show his satisfaction, of course, let alone to speak of it.
当然,他没有让自己流露出满意的神色,更不会说出这种心情了。
(3) 介词+ satisfaction做状语的情况.
举例:Theprofessor put one finger in his mouth, tasted it, and smiled with satisfaction.
教授把一根手指头伸进嘴里,尝了尝,满意地笑了。
(4) 跟在系动词后面做表语。
举例:The news is agreat satisfaction to me.
对我来说这消息是个喜讯。
